Batman - TDK just barely inches itself up to a 7 for me. Its floorless with open cars, mostly smooth, some pretty good theming with a nice looking station and its got one of my favorite inversions, the zero-g roll. Also, because of its capacity, like with most B&Ms the line should move fast. However, when I was at SFNE there wasnt a line. All these plusses add up to a Good coaster, but nothing more. The layout is pretty short and uninspiring, but at the same time its a good use of the little land they had to work with. Also, I dont really like compact looping coasters as they tend to have their inversions too close together. Thats not so much of a problem here with the first three inversions (vertical loop, dive loop, and the zero-g roll) but the B&M signature interlocking corkscrews are uncharacteristically rough. Theyre immediatley followed by the brakes and the rides over. Lastly, its compact size keeps the speed and intensity at a minimum. Which isnt completely a bad thing, but when I got off I wasnt like, "Wow that little coaster packed a punch". It was more like, "Okay. That was a B&M floorless." Still a good installation for any park. Final Rating - 7.0 (Good)
